Jeff Lerner: Good morning, ENTRE.
Stella: Are you vlogging, Daddy?
Jeff Lerner: Yeah, I am.
I've been slacking today on the vlog. I'm getting lots of actual work done.
Did you come to Daddy's work?
Jaqueline Lerner: So Jace is having a huge party.
Jace: Jeff Lerner Official.
Oh, hi.
Jeff Lerner: What’s up, guys? This is for the vlog.
Hot girl in like rugged all-terrain vehicle.
Jaqueline Lerner: It's 3:40 AM. And it's Jeff's birthday.
Jeff Lerner: Hello. I'm 42.
Jaqueline Lerner: Which is still a year younger than me. So that sucks and will
never change. But what do you do? Anyway. But babe, what are you going to
do today for your birthday?
Jeff Lerner: Work really hard, work extra hard. I'm going to celebrate my
birthday with a celebration of productivity.
Jaqueline Lerner: And then he's going to come home and come to dinner with me and
all the boys and whoever else wants to go.
Jeff Lerner: Yeah. I'm actually really touched that our whole group of boys
wants to take me to dinner.
Jaqueline Lerner: They’re good boys.
Jeff Lerner: And then show them the spread.
Jaqueline Lerner: Cards. That one’s obviously from Stella.
Jeff Lerner: That was seriously so sweet. Jaqueline got up with me at 3:30
to just say happy birthday and like spend a little time with me. What a
woman. Who does that?
Good morning, ENTRE. Always thrilled to be with you on another fine Monday
morning.
Let's just keep making an impact, keep doing what we're doing. And remember
that it's fun. It's play. We make it up as we go. And we get to be participants
in our own lives. We get to be the creators of our own lives. And every one
of our students needs to feel that. Or else, ENTRE fails. Love you all. Talk
soon. That was my message to the ENTRE family this morning. I recorded it
because it's a message for you too. Let's do it. We create our lives. Let's
have some fun with it.
I’m recording voiceovers for our ad videos with my makeshift sound set up,
trying to muffle sound.
This is why I need a new office. I'm going to build a way better setup for
this sort of thing. But in the meantime, you can get to watch me record an ad
video, voiceover anyways.
Have you ever heard of a coffee shop millionaire? You know, the people you
see relaxing at the coffee shop, working on their laptops all day. But then when
they get up and leave, they drive off in a hundred thousand dollar sports car.
My blankets that I use for my little naps, they double as my sound treatment
for when I need to do audio recordings. I'm like super moved. One of our son's
friends, the whole group that hangs out at the house all the time, one of them
just came to my office just to give me a birthday card. He's on the basketball
team that I coach. But like that's so sweet. What teenager takes time out in
the middle of the day on a Monday to come to his friend's dad's office just
to give him a birthday card and tell him happy birthday? I'm like overwhelmed. So
sweet. I'm excited for dinner tonight. We're going out with the whole crew.
Stella: Are you vlogging, Daddy?
Jeff Lerner: Yeah, I am. Birthday dinner for the old man. Team’s here. What’s up,
team? So it begins.
Stella: Daddy, why do you always do that?
Jeff Lerner: I don't know. Why do I always do that? Maybe because this is my
job.
Stella: It’s not your job.
Jeff Lerner: It's my job.
Stella: It's not.
Jeff Lerner: It's literally my job to vlog.
[Singing Happy Birthday]
Well, that was fun. Birthday dinner over. There goes the team. Good morning.
Got up at 3:00 this morning, 30 minutes early. And this time, it was on purpose.
Set the alarm early because I've been feeling rushed in the mornings.
I've been slacking today on the vlog because I'm getting lots of actual work
done. But we're about to do Ask Jeff, which is one of our most popular
segments of social media content. So you can get to witness the making of the Ask
Jeff segment.
And for the record, we really, we truly don't prep these. I have no idea what
the question's going to be.
Wyatt: If you could do one thing without risk of failing, what would you do?
Jeff Lerner: If I could do one thing without risk of failing? Okay. This is going to sound
like a really like overly philosophical answer like I'm trying too hard. But
it's truly how I, it's my first reaction to the question. I’m just at the high
school lacrosse game, chilling. Chilling with the crew. This is Jonah.
Jonah: Hey.
Jeff Lerner: Jonah is one of my favorite peeps.
Jaqueline Lerner: Jace’s team is going on right now. But we just watched our
other boys. Stone, Yeshua and Elijah play.
Jeff Lerner: These are my basketball kids. They're cheating on basketball
with another sport. There's Jace right there.
Jonah: Yeah, Jace, let's go.
Jeff Lerner: No pressure, Jace. Camera's on.
Date night.
Jaqueline Lerner: Yeah. I love how we call it date night, but we always just stay home
and get in our bed and watch our shows.
Jeff Lerner: I feel like date night is more for other people to know to like try to give us
just a little more space than usual so that we can hang out together in bed by
ourselves instead of like with kids in the room.
Jaqueline Lerner: Yeah. I mean we could go out and do anything but—
Jeff Lerner: Like things people do on dates.
Jaqueline Lerner: Yeah. We just like to be together.
Jeff Lerner: Yeah.
Jaqueline Lerner: In a room in our house.
Jeff Lerner: Anywhere else you go, there's going to be other people.
Jaqueline Lerner: Yeah. And I like being here, knowing all the kids are close but
we're still alone. It just all works out so well.
Jeff Lerner: Yeah. Plus where could we go on a date and be more comfortable
than we are right now? Like in super comfortable clothes, laying on our bed.
Jaqueline Lerner: With our pup.
Jeff Lerner: With our little, oh yeah. She's always, she's always present at
date night.
Gracie. Gracie. Oh, she’s a good puppy. I call it cat in box.
Stella, what do you want me to do?
Stella: Make me a shake.
Jeff Lerner: What kind of shake?
Stella: The bananas and the cold strawberries in the freezer.
Jeff Lerner: What's up, world? Getting ready to shoot. Finally! Can you believe
it? We're going to shoot these courses that you've been hearing me talk about
getting ready for, for like three months now or two months or whatever it's been.
Today's the day. No pressure. Right? I've only hyped them up as like the
greatest piece of educational content to be created in the history of our fair
planet. I'm feeling pretty good though. I’m kind of riding the wave. I have to
share. We just, I just got this recorded voice message from a gentleman in our
organization. Basically, this is someone who has dealt with chronic pain for
years related to an accident that he had. Ruthless, crippling, chronic pain
to the point where if it came out of nowhere and you didn't have time to
acclimate to it, it would literally make your heart stop.
And he works with us. Because of his pain, he had not been able to procure
employment really suitable to his capabilities just because people were
kind of scared to take a chance on him or, you know, for whatever reason. But
you know, given that we have a work, you know, our entire company's virtual and
distributed and everybody works from home. You know, we saw fit to give him a
shot. And he basically just sent a very emotional message saying that since he's
now worked with us, he's earned the money and been able to save up and has
now the ability to go get the STEM cell treatment that's not available in his
home country. And he's having to go to, you know, another country to get the
STEM cell treatment. But basically because we believed in him, he's able to
do that now.
And it was, you could just hear gratitude and almost the shock in his
voice. Like he was realizing this isn't just a dream. This actually happened.
And that we were a part of that is really, it's really inspiring. It's just
incredible what certain people go through in this world. And man, what it
can do when you just can develop that ability to believe in people and take a
little bit of risk. I swear the terror around taking reasonable risks in this
world is one of the most debilitating things I see for people. So much
opportunity costs in being scared to take risks. So many great things that
can happen on the other side of risk. They never do because people are scared
to take them. Did you come to Daddy's work?
Stella: Yeah.
Jeff Lerner: Here, Stella. I'm tired. I don't want to do my work anymore. I want
you to do it for me. Okay?
Stella: Daddy, no.
Jeff Lerner: Can you do it? Can you teach the course for me?
Stella: No, Daddy.
Kenna: Okay. Say, we'll see you in a little.
Jeff Lerner: Or if you're living in Toronto or London or Zurich,
Switzerland, having a million dollars is nice. So when I use the term millionaire
success secrets, I'm really using millionaire as kind of this generally
defined or generally definable term.
I actually have a friend coming over. She's actually friends with my kids and
she's coming over. And she's actually a singer. You know, she's wanting to
collaborate with a piano player, somebody to accompany her and kind of
coach her a little bit. And she's never really found anyone that she wanted to
work with. But she's excited to work with me. So that's pretty cool.
All right, Chaz. Your big moment.
Chaz: Hi!
Jeff Lerner: Having in a party? Should I be worried?
Chaz: Just a little bit.
Jeff Lerner: Just a little bit. That's good.
Jaqueline Lerner: Here's what's happening here. First of all, so Jace is
having a huge party and Jeff forgot his camera at the office and drove all the
way back to his office to get it so that he could vlog the party. And then this.
So we're going to vlog the party anyway.
Hi.
Hey, vlog.
@JeffLernerOfficial.
Oh, hi.
What’s up, vlog?
Yo.
Sup?
You gonna rap for the vlog?
Whoever edits this, I'm sorry.
Jeff Lerner: This is the party. This is just the indoor party.
What's up, guys? This is for the vlog. Jace wanted to have a party. So I'm
going to go see what's going on in the front yard. I'm a little scared.
This is my front yard. Everybody say hi to the vlog. All right. So that's what's
going on here.
I’m going back to bed.
Heading home from the gym. How you feeling?
Jaqueline Lerner: So tired.
Jeff Lerner: She has a little bit of a party hangover from staying up too late.
She tried to hang with the—
Jaqueline Lerner:, I was trying to stay up till everybody left.
Jeff Lerner: How many people do you think were at our house? Like 150?
Jaqueline Lerner: At least. Yes.
Jeff Lerner: At least 150. You know, Jaqueline has worked very hard to create
a safe place for the teenagers of our community to come and have fun and
express themselves and not feel judged. Would you say that last night was too
much of a good thing? Or is it mission accomplished?
Jaqueline Lerner: No, it was mission accomplished. It was fun.
Jeff Lerner: It actually was.
Jaqueline Lerner: I even had fun.
Jeff Lerner: Yeah, it was really fun. On a sushi date with her and that. And
these guys. That’s Yesh. He likes sushi. That’s Stone.
Jaqueline Lerner: He loves sushi.
Jeff Lerner: Yesh loves sushi.
Stone: I like sushi.
Jeff Lerner: Every time we get sushi, she wants to feed it to me. So you got
to give the girl what she wants. So we got to take the Razor to get a new
battery. Looks like Gracie's driving.
Hey, Grace. Are you going to drive? Are you ready to drive? Who's in there? Oh,
Stella's in there. Hi, Stella.
Jaqueline Lerner: I need to flip this around. Life is a lot harder when you're
vlogging. Right? Okay. I think it's a neutral.
Jeff Lerner: Okay. Foot off the brake?
Jaqueline Lerner: No. Now it is.
Jeff Lerner: Okay. Yeah, you're good. Oh yeah. We're good. Steer it a little.
Turn the wheel to the left a little bit. I feel like that was good.
Jaqueline Lerner: Good job, babe.
Jeff Lerner: Thanks. Yeah. Party on.
Jaqueline Lerner: Mission accomplished.
Also, there's just something about a hot girl in like a rugged all-terrain
vehicle.
